About me

I was born and raised in Missouri. I spent several years in New England as part of my education and training (Massachusetts and Vermont). As a young girl, I fell in love with the mountains of Colorado and vowed I would return to live here “when I grow up.” Now, I am able to live out that dream. I feel blessed daily by the opportunities that abound in this amazing state. My medical career started as a nurse's assistant in a nursing home. This is where I grew to understand what a privilege it is to provide care for people when they are feeling most vulnerable, and what a tremendous impact we can have in someone's life just by showing we care. This experience has provided the foundation for my current practice.

About my practice

I believe in a holistic and preventive approach to medicine. Health care must be a partnership between the patient and physician. My job is to help explain what options are available to you and help you make choices that are in line with your personal goals and beliefs. My special interests include sports medicine, musculoskeletal injuries and natural/complementary alternative medicine. I have additional experience and training in trigger point injections, joint injections and dermatological procedures. I perform a wide spectrum of women’s health procedures including endometrial biopsies, Nexplanon and IUD placements. Providing care for families and children is something I find personally rewarding as I get to see families develop and grow.

How I thrive

Being active outdoors is how I thrive. My favorite activity is mountain biking and I compete in backpacking, endurance biking and cross country mountain biking. If I'm not on my bike, you may find me building trails, running, hiking, snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, rock climbing, or any other outdoor activity. I practice yoga regularly and enjoy painting.

Information in this online directory is updated periodically and applies to commercial plans underwritten by Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Colorado. The availability of physicians, hospitals, providers, and services may change. To verify whether a provider accepts Kaiser Permanente plans, contact the provider directly. Current provider information is available at kp.org/locations. This information is updated within 72 business hours of receipt from providers. Kaiser Permanente of Colorado attempts to ensure the online directory contains up-to-date information. However, providers are responsible for notifying kp.org of any changes to their information, and untimely communication may result in outdated provider information appearing on the website. The printed directory is current as of the date of publication. Kaiser Permanente is not responsible for use of outdated directories.

Kaiser Permanente considers the following factors/criteria as it builds and maintains provider networks:

Size and demographics of the population to be served;

The inventory of provider types required to serve the population and using practitioner to member ratios and geographic access standards metrics to ensure adequacy;

Application of rigorous credentialing criteria encompassing but not limited to educational training, licensing, professional experience, board certification, and professional references.

Kaiser Permanente uses the same geographic distribution consideration to select hospitals in Marketplace plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business.

Information about a practitioner is provided to us by the practitioner or the practitioner's network, or is obtained as part of the credentialing process. An authorization or referral may be required to access some providers in this directory. If you have questions, contact Member Services.

Referrals to affiliated/contracted physicians/providers in Denver/Boulder

If your CPMG physician decides that you require covered services not available internally from CPMG, he or she will refer you to an affiliated/contracted physician/provider.

You must have a written referral to the affiliated/contracted physician/provider in order for Kaiser Permanente Colorado to cover the services. A referral is a written authorization from Kaiser Permanente for you to receive a covered service from an affiliated/contracted physician/provider.
